Martinez’s roommate, Christopher Matisak, 20, was charged with third-degree possession of ecstasy and suboxone and a disorderly persons offense for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Last month, members of the prosecutor’s Organize Crime and Narcotics Task Force and Hillsborough police learned Martinez was selling prescription drugs from his dwelling, DeMarco said. An undercover detective arranged to buy oxycotin from him on April 22 and May 12.

As a result of the undercover purchases, task force members obtained a search warrant for Martinez’s person and his residence and established surveillance near his home at about 6 p.m. Wednesday, DeMarco said. When Martinez arrived, investigators arrested him and found 25 oxycodone pills in his pocket.

When they searched the house, officials found found three ecstasy pills, two suboxone pills, a small amount of marijuana and a digital scale and plastic baggies in Matisak’s bedroom, DeMarco said. Matisak later was arrested at work.

Authorities seized $1,000 worth of pills during the investigation. The men were released on their own recognizance.
